Since 1974, we have participated in hundreds of technological projects that have made us active players in the development of our region, contributing to a better quality of life for the people of our countries, and helping more than 5,000 customers to grow their businesses and be more efficient and competitive through the better use of IT.

Since our foundation, SONDA's focus has been to provide services for solving management problems through solutions intensive in the use of digital tools and information technologies, which meet the needs of our clients and are competitive to our market reality.

At the end of our first decade, we undertook our first venture outside Chile with our arrival in Peru (1984), beginning our internationalization process, which would continue in Argentina (1986), Ecuador (1990), Uruguay (1994), Colombia (2000), Brazil (2002), Costa Rica (2003) and Mexico (2004).

In these 36 years, and over and above the growth and business development we have experienced, we have tried to maintain and strengthen the corporate culture that has characterized us since 1974: a foolproof service vocation and an unyielding commitment to our clients.
